#Apple says #8GB of #RAM on #M3 MacBooks is similar to #16GB on #Windows PCs

Apple's new M3 products push the emerging #Arm #PC sector to the next level, but the cheapest #MacBook in the lineup is a $1,600 #notebook with only 8GB of unified memory. Many consider 16GB the current standard and arguably the minimum for intense workloads, but Apple thinks its RAM is different.
I'm also wondering why 8GB of RAM on a MacBook costs as much as 32GB on a non-Apple #laptop?

My old China-made USB-C hub (who always got rather hot) gave up after 2,5 years. I needed to go through 5(!) replacements, before I found one that worked like the old one. Even one from Anker - a brand I usually have good experiences with - didn't work the way I wanted. It always turned out to be a problem with the cable-bound mouse that made problems. After returning the first 2 replacements, I was fed up and orderted THREE others, in the hope to find one that works the way I want.
What made it special was that I wanted one with audio support. That is not very common, to start with. With two of the 5, the audio interface didn't even show up on my Macbook. Three of the 5 had problems with the cable-bound mouse, not recognizing it at all. Only two of the 5 did everything right, and I took the liberty of returning the more expensive one.
The one I chose works fine, and has a more spacious, aired chassis, so I hope it does not get too warm. Even so, it has one problem: The "mute" button on the Mac gets ignored. BUt since it is hooked up to an amp anyways, I can use the amp's mute.

MacBook met Linux
Diverse software op mijn MacBook Pro mid 2010 (High Sierra) krijgt geen updates meer. Nog niet meteen een probleem, maar om bij te blijven nu Xubuntu 22.04 op de MacBook gezet. Werkt prima.
Wel wennen aan andere toetsaanslagen, want Linux houdt blijkbaar geen rekening met het iets afwijkende toetsenbord van een MacBook.

I'm tired of Apple's ecosystem, Apple ID, not being able to change any individual part of my laptop, being charged $200 USD for 8GB of RAM, being charged $200 for 256 GB of SSD, and so on
